Hi Simon,
I have an 8900, and I'd like to program the 6m and 2m repeaters in our local area using what Yaesu calls "Narrow FM" - 12.5khz deviation. Unfortunately Chirp only seems to support FM and AM for this rig (checked using the latest build, and confirmed according to the support statement athttp://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/daily-08202011/Model_Support.htm...). Is there any way NFM could be added so that we can save repeaters with narrow FM set?
Sure, with a little help from you:
1. Go to VFO mode 2. Set a frequency of, say, 146.0 3. Set deviation to wide 4. Store to memory 1 5. Change deviation to narrow 6. Store to memory 2 7. Download an image 8. Send the image to me
The channels don't have to be 1 and 2, but if they're not, tell me which ones they are so I know. I'll hopefully determine which bit is the narrow flag and add it to the code. It's important to make no changes other than toggling the wide/narrow flag between steps 4 and 6, otherwise it can be a lot harder to find the right bit.
Thanks!
